Insta360 EVO is a new camera with foldable body capable to shoot 180 3D video or VR 360 video in up to 5.7K resolution as well as 18MP photos. The EVO features TimeShift mode and the companion app makes it easy to edit the content and share it. Insta360 also announced HoloFrame, which allows naked-eye playback of 3D content straight from a smartphone – no 3D glasses needed.
Insta360 seems to be bringing one innovative camera after another. Just over two months ago in January 2019 they announced the Insta360 Titan with micro four thirds sensors and 11K resolution. Last year in October the company announced the Insta360 ONE X, which is an affordable and features-packed VR camera for consumers. By the way, stay tuned to cinema5D – the Insta360 ONE X review is coming soon. Today, Insta360 is launching another new camera with an innovative approach – the Insta360 EVO.
Insta360 EVO Foldable Camera
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the new Insta360 EVO camera is its foldable design. It looks like two cameras connected together with a folding mechanism. When unfolded, the Insta360 EVO captures reality the same way human eyes see it. This way it can capture 5.7K 180 3D video and 18 MP 180 3D photos which make both details and depth stand up to reality.
When folded, the camera shoots 5.7K 360 video and 18 MP 360 photos the same way like the ONE X. 360 content can be played back on a headset or reframed with the EVO’s intuitive editing app to punch in on the best moments.
The Insta360 EVO uses two purpose-built stabilization technologies. 360 mode packs FlowState gimbal-like stabilization known from the above mentioned Insta360 ONE X. For 180 3D mode, EVO introduces new 3D stabilization technology allowing creators to move freely to get the shot while ensuring footage stays smooth, stable and headset-ready.
TimeShift mode (also known from the ONE X) puts a 360 twist on time-lapse and hyper-lapse photography, allowing users to control both the flow of time and the perspective of the camera at any given moment.
The Insta360 EVO’s companion app makes capturing and editing the content easy. WiFi connectivity lets users see what they’re capturing on EVO in real time, and then quickly transfer footage to their phone. Next, they can review, trim and tweak 180 and 360 content with a few taps, or reframe 360 footage to create the edit. The app also supports publishing 360 and 180 3D content to supporting platforms, such as YouTube and Facebook.
Content captured on the Insta360 EVO can be played back on any VR headset. Using the new Insta360 VR app, users can also connect an Oculus Go or Samsung Gear VR directly to EVO for instant playback and file transfer.
Insta360 HoloFrame
Another innovation from Insta360 involves playback of 3D content and is called HoloFrame. It allows naked-eye playback of 3D content straight from a smartphone – no 3D glasses needed. The HoloFrame pops straight over a smartphone display (like a reverse phone case). Then, users open their favorite 3D photo or video in the EVO app. During playback, the app uses eye-tracking to align with a viewer’s gaze and display an image that takes on a lifelike three dimensions in their line of sight.
Insta360 claims it is “a groundbreaking way to experience 3D content that has to be seen to be believed.” Sounds a bit like when RED was promoting their Hydrogen One holographic display. I am curious to see the HoloFrame in action with my own eyes. HoloFrame will be sold separately and is available today for iPhone models X, XS, XS Max and XR. Additional versions for Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+ and Note 8 models coming soon.

What do you think about the new Insta360 EVO camera? Do you use VR 360 cameras? Let us know in the comments underneath the article.

Insta360 just introduced their new high end VR 360 camera – the Insta360 Titan. It incorporates 8 micro four thirds cameras and can record up to 11K 10-bit cinematic VR video.
Insta360 has been one of the biggest innovators in the field of VR video for the past years. Today’s announcement just confirms their strong position. The company already released two high end VR cameras in the past with the Insta360 Pro and Insta360 Pro 2. The Pro line now officially becomes “high end of yesterday”. The freshly introduced Insta360 Titan takes VR content creation to the next level.
Insta360 Titan – 11K Resolution with 8 MFT Cameras
The new Insta360 Titan indeed incorporates eight camera modules with micro four thirds (MFT) sensors – the largest sensors in any standalone VR camera. Bigger sensors open up more possibilities in terms of image quality, dynamic range, lowlight performance and color depth. All of that is packed in quite a compact ball-shaped body known from Insta360’s Pro line of VR cameras.
Key shooting modes include 11K at 30fps, 10K 3D at 30fps, as well as 11K 360 photos in 3D and monoscopic formats. Additional shooting modes include 8K at 60 FPS and 5.3K 360 video at 120 FPS. Very good news is that Insta360 Titan supports shooting in 10-bit color depth for more flexibility in color grading.

Insta360 Technology – FlowState, Farsight, CrystalView
The Titan uses Insta360’s signature onboard FlowState stabilization technology known from the latest consumer flagship, the Insta360 One X. From what I have seen so far, I have to say the results are very impressive and truly gimbal-like.
The new VR flagship camera comes standard with Insta360’s Farsight live monitoring system. It consists of a transmitter and a receiver that can be easily attached to a phone or tablet and it enables VR filmmakers to easily preview and control their shoots remotely.
CrystalView is Insta360’s proprietary playback tech which lets creators easily playback the VR content even in very high resolutions. It renders in real time exactly the part of a video a viewer is watching – with no computing power wasted on displaying what’s behind their head. Therefore even mainstream smartphones will be able to play back full-quality Titan content.

The Insta360 Titan will have its premiere at the CES show in Las Vegas this week. If you are planning to go there, make sure to visit Insta360 booth (in Convention Center South Hall 1, at Booth No.21018).The company is now accepting reservations for the new VR beast. Shipping of the first batch (reservations) is planned for April 2019. The Insta360 Titan is priced at $14,999 USD and the reservation is confirmed with a fully refundable deposit.

Following the introduction of their new Insta360 ONE X camera, Insta360 just announced a major update to its Pro camera series at the AdobeMAX conference, bringing the inclusion of 180° capture in 4k x 4k. This makes the Insta360 Pro and Pro2 the only two cameras currently able to shoot both 360° and 180° footage from a single vantage point. The new workflow will also be integrated with Premiere Pro via an Extension. Here’s what you need to know.
Using the updated software Insta360 Pro shooters will be able to do 180° capture and 360° capture at the same time from a single vantage point. Actually the capture process won’t really change, it will still be 360° capture while shooting. However in post you’ll be able to isolate the footage from only the lenses needed to capture a 180° 3d image. The result will be 4k x 4k (4k for each eye). In regards to shooting, this will also offer a much more traditional workflow, because, as silly as it sounds, you’ll have somewhere to “point” the camera to.
Post production workflow
The 180° footage then can be edited in post either in Insta360’s own Stitcher software or the Premiere Pro plugin. Upon import you can then toggle the 180° 3d setting, meaning only the footage necessary to create the 180° 3d image will be imported. Using the Stitcher workflow you will then be able to stitch the footage automatically and export to a standard 180° VR format more suited for editing.
Using Premiere Pro the 180° 3d functionality will be added to the existing “No-stitch Editing” workflow, which will work the same way as with 360° footage. You will be able to work with a proxy, giving you a preview of how the finished product will look like, without actually stitching and exporting it first. Then, upon finishing your edit, the stitching will be done on export.
Here an tldr; overview of the updates new features:
180° capture and 360° capture simultaneously for the Insta360 Pro and Pro 2
4k x 4k
Shoot 360° first, decide on 180° later
Only import footage necessary for 180°
Integration into Premiere Pro and the “No-Stitch Editing” workflow
The changes to the software will come via free update later this month.
What do you think? Are you interested in using 180° instead of 360°? And why? Let us know in the comments!

New Insta360 ONE X camera has just been announced. It brings 5.7K video, very capable image stabilization and high frame rates for slow motion clips. This VR 360 camera is designed for “shoot first, point later” style of editing – it lets users choose the right angle after the video has been shot. We talked with Max Richter from Insta360 during Photokina to get more information about their new ONE X.
Insta360 counts as one of the biggest inovators in the field of VR 360 video. They offer great image quality VR video for professionals with their Insta360 Pro (our video and article from Photokina 2018 with the new Insta360 Pro 2 can be found here) as well as portable solutions for smartphone use like the Insta360 One for iPhones (or Insta360 Air for Android). Now they are introducing the new consumer flagship model – the Insta360 ONE X.
Image Quality of the New Insta360 ONE X
Unlike its predecessor, the Insta360 ONE X now works as a standalone device. The company wants to sell it as a “new generation action camera”. That means the company is really emphasizing the ability to choose the right angle after the 360 footage has been shot.
“Shoot first, point later” is the philosophy behind this new 360 camera. It lets users choose the best way to frame an experience after it’s over – that means missing an important shot because of the bad framing should be history (given it is happening in the nearest surrounding – as with every action camera). Using the ONE X’s editing app, which is available for both iOS and Android, users can easily reframe and re-edit the best parts of a scene.
The GoPro Fusion is actually already offering this kind of feature. It would be interesting to compare the capability of this feature between both cameras. The Insta360. For perspective, GoPro Fusion comes in at a higher price and shoots slightly lower resolution.
The Insta360 ONE X’s new TimeShift feature lets users easily adjust the speed of different parts of a clip – slow or speed things up with stabilized hyperlapse. The combination of TimeShift and the ability to frame the shot in the postproduction gives users lots of possibilities for editing process.
In the world of VR 360 video, high resolution is an important aspect of camera. Especially as cropping and zooming in the image happens all the time when editing VR 360 footage. The Insta360 ONE X records at 5.7K (at 30 fps). For dynamic scenes with slow motion possibility it also shoots at 4K (50 fps) or at 3K (100 fps). The camera also shoots 18MP photos.
Concerning low light capability, we were told there are now new bigger sensors from Sony, so the camera should produce cleaner footage in low light.
Image Stabilization and Other Features
It seems like the perfect marketing term for a really good stabilization is “gimbal-like”. We have seen it recently with the new GoPro HERO7 and now the Insta360 ONE X is bringing it too – very capable “gimbal-like” stabilization. The ONE X uses the upgraded FlowState stabilization algorithm which analyzes movement in all directions to achieve a high level of stabilization. Reminds me again of the new GoPro HERO7.
The ONE X app can automatically remove a selfie stick from the filmed scenes which creates a “floating camera” effect. Pairing the camera with Insta360’s customized 10ft (3m) long selfie stick can help create aerial shots without actualy having to use a drone.
Insta360 Drifter camera dart for throwing the ONE X around
The Insta360 ONE X can be mounted into the new Insta360 Drifter camera dart and users can throw the camera around to create like a fly-through videos. This is demonstrated in the video below. It looks quite cool, but my concern is if the camera’s lenses are protected well enough not to suffer serious damage while throwing the camera around. Also, the “bullet time” slow motion clips in the video look cool, but there are very visible artifacts from stitching.
Users can connect to the ONE X via WiFi to preview and control the shots in real time. WiFi can also be used to transfer footage to the phone for editing and sharing. Additionaly, the camera can be connected with a data transfer cable to transfer the footage. Lightning, USB Type-C and Micro-USB cables are included with the ONE X.
The camera has removable 1200 mAh battery, which means users can carry spare batteries for long shoots. The image settings like ISO, exposure value, white balance and shutter speed can be manually tweaked. The ONE X is also ready for HDR photos, timelapses, hyperlapses, interval shooting and timed shots.
There are two rugged case options for the Insta360 ONE X. The Venture Case is a tough shell designed for above-water shooting, which offers splash protection and waterproofing to 5 meters. The Dive Case with specialized dome lenses allow for underwater 360 shooting down to 30 meters.

The optional GPS Smart Remote lets users control the ONE X, while automatically recording GPS data for video and photos. This data can be used to easily upload video and photos to Google Maps Street View, and to add a customizable journey-tracking dashboard to video clips – overlaying speed, direction, elevation, location and route info.

Insta360 has just launched the Insta360 Pro 2, with 8k 60p recording in 3D on a new and improved sensor, as well as better stabilisation and wireless connectivity. Additionally announced: a cooperation with Adobe, yielding a new Premiere plugin, aimed at improving 3D workflows. Find out everything you need to know.
8k, Stabilisation and Farsight Downlink
The just launched Insta360 Pro 2 is the new and improved version of the previous Insta360 Pro. This new VR 3D camera features a larger new sensor, improving lowlight performance, as well as raising the resolution to 8k. Nowadays, 8k doesn’t seem like a must-have improvement for most operators, but there is an important distinction to be made here: 8k in VR means up to 4k per Eye, making this a far more practical improvement than it might seem. Six fisheye F2.4 lenses will record in H.264 in 120Mbps internally, while the stitched end result can be delivered in H.265, thus making it less storage intensive.
The Insta360 Pro 2 now has Insta360’s Flowstate stabilisation, combining an internal gyro with digital stabilisation to give the stability that is much needed in VR video, to prevent nauseated viewers.
Insta360 has also created a new proprietary video downlink system called Farsight to replace the previously used Wifi. The system is supposed to work in a fashion similar to DJI’s Lightbridge. A transmitter is connected to the camera via Ethernet and then transmits to a receiver that works with an App (available for MacOS,iOS, Android and Windows). Range is supposed to be around 2km ground to air and around 200m ground to ground.
Easier Editing and a new Player
In tandem with the newly launched camera, Insta360 is announcing a plugin for Adobe Premiere, that was developed in cooperation with Adobe. This plugin will allow you to drop your unstitched footage into a timeline, then edit it like you always would and only stitch it upon export, thus promising great improvements in ease of use.
Additionally, Insta360 is rolling out their new Crystal View Player to all major operating systems, allowing you to play back VR footage recorded with the Insta360 Pro 2 in up to 8k on your computer. The player supports the Samsung Gear, Oculus and other headsets, it is free and comes with an SDK for other software vendors to include in their players. It supports dynamic rendering, only showing full resolution where the viewer is actually looking at.
The Insta360 Pro 2 is available now. See product links below, here’s the link to their site.
Are you excited for the improved Insta360 Pro 2? Will the workflow improvements make you more likely to consider the camera? Let us know in the comments!

The Insta360 Pro 2 is the next evolutionary step after the original Insta360 Pro which was introduced back at CES in 2017. This time around, the new kid on the block sports some unique features such as live 4K broadcasting, new FarSight technology and updated FlowState stabilization.
Insta360 Pro 2 with FarSight transmitter and receiver.
At around $3499 the original Insta360 Pro was (and is) far from cheap but the specs are truly amazing: 6 HD cameras capturing 360-degree video at up to 8K resolution. The freshly updated Insta360 Pro 2 ups some of these specs even further (but at a considerably higher price) and offers additional neat features such as the so-called FarSight technology which uses a dedicated transmitter and receiver in order to monitor the action from up to 300m (985 ft) away. A good thing since the camera shoots in all directions at the same time leaving no blind spot for the director.
Insta360 Pro 2, New features:
Just like the original Insta360 Pro camera this new model sports 6 HD cameras that capture every angle of a scene at once. The resulting videos or photos are then fused into two 8K 360-degree images, one per eye, to create an immersive and high-detailed experience.
FlowState stabilization
Built right in is the proprietary FlowState stabilization. This technology uses optical flow algorithms in order to smoothen out shaky camera moves in-camera. No external gimbal devices are necessary (something which would be difficult to pull off without obstructing the 360-degree field of view anyways). The Pro 2 uses a gyroscope that tracks motion on nine axes. Insta360’s software takes care of applying the gathered shake data to the video footage resulting in smooth camera motions.
Above: FlowState stabilization sample footage
FarSight technology
The so-called FarSight technology uses the 5.18 Ghz band plus smart channel switching rather than relying on unstable wi-fi connections. The transmitter attaches to the Insta360 pro 2 itself while the receiving unit hosts your phone as a monitoring/controlling device. You can be as far as 300m (985 ft) away ground to ground or up to 3km away ground to air while receiving a reliable high-definition low-latency stream. Using your phone you can control all the features of the Insta360 Pro 2 without the need of standing next to it or even touching it.
The physical unit weights about 1,4 kg (3 lbs). So the Insta360 Pro 2 is even suitable to be mounted on a drone for example. It offers a hot-swap battery dock and four built-in mics for 360 audio, plus a pair of USB and 3.5 mm audio inputs on its top and bottom. Whatever you have in mind in terms of custom setup, you can most likely pull it off with this thing.
Seven SD card slots can be found on the Insta360 Pro 2. Six MicroSD card slots, one per each camera, and a seventh full-sized SD card that captures stabilization data and low-res proxy files optimized for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Post Production
Stitching together individual streams from all the cameras can be a pain in any 360-degree workflow. Insta360’s integrated Adobe Premiere Pro workflow kind of solves this. Every time the Pro 2 captures a video, it automatically saves a low-res proxy version in addition to the full-quality footage. Once you’ve wrapped shooting you can import these proxies into Adobe Premiere Pro. They will be automatically recognized by Adobe Premiere and stitched instantly. All you have to do is editing your project just like you would with plain video.
Then, when you’re ready to export, Insta360’s algorithm will take over and stitch together exactly the footage that was used in the final project, at full quality. There’s no wasted time nor processing power. Just like in color grading stitching is only applied to the clips you really need for your edit, nothing else.
Custom Scaling, Broadcasting and GPS
Most of today’s available VR/360-degree headsets max out at 4K resolution. That’s only quarter of what the Insta360 Pro 2′ 8K recording capabilities. That’s where the so-called CrystalView technology comes into play. The Insta 360 Pro 2’s content can be converted into a format that’s ready to play back on any mainstream smartphone or headset. You’ll need Insta360’s free playback apps which will dynamically render these files, displaying in full quality the exact segment of a scene that a user is looking at.
Another pretty interesting feature is live broadcasting. While recording full-res 8K footage, you can deliver a 360-degree 4K livestream in real time. Both, 3D and monoscopic formats are supported. Since you’ll have the full-res files once your shoot is concluded you still have the ability to turn your live event into a polished edit later down the road.
The Insta360 Pro is Certified for Google Maps “Street View” and so is the Insta360 Pro 2. Furthermore it sports two top-mounted antennas in order to strengthen the incoming GPS signal. That way you can append the GPS position to your captures if you want to. Or you could file an application as a “Street View” driver with Google.
Pricing and Availability
Preorders for the Insta360 Pro 2 are open now. It’s priced at $4999.95 and includes:
Farsight transmitter system plus
one battery
A 3-month license to Mistika VR Professional Edition ($236 value), offering customizable stitching controls, integrated with Insta360’s official stitching libraries.
A 3-month subscription to Blend Media’s 360 Stories Pro software ($745 value), offering intuitive creation and publication of virtual tours and other interactive 360 experiences.
On top, pre-order customers will also receive an additional free battery ($129 value).

Insta360 has announced a major update for the Insta360 ONE, which significantly improves the stabilization capabilities of the camera to such extent that Insta360 calls it the “Gimbal Killer”!
As stated on the Insta360 blog: “Innovative camera maker Insta360 today announced a major update for its popular Insta360 ONE, adding a groundbreaking stabilization technology and smart editing features that put the camera at the forefront of a new type of photography – using 360-degree camera technology to improve the way we create traditional, “flat” video and photos.”
Watch the video below that demonstrates the advantages of the firmware update:
FlowState: A gimbal-like stabilization update
The FlowState is the main update here. The company doesn’t elaborate on the technology behind it, but it seems like a new algorithm, which allows super smooth videos – just like a gimbal – but without any other device attached to the camera and with no accessories required.
According to user reviews, you can run a sprint with the camera and still get super steady shots.
Watch the comparison below that clearly shows the potential of the Insta360 ONE using FlowState stabilization. The video tries to prove that the Insta360 ONE produces a smoother video than a smartphone mounted on a gimbal.
What I find special about the FlowState is that there seems to be no cropping of the image which occurs in other software stabilization processes, which may constitute a major pain when a post stabilization is needed. This means that the algorithm implemented here is smart and efficient, and should be used (or developed) by NLEs.
Pivot Points and SmartTrack
Another new update allows users to set points of interest throughout a video, giving an outline of the story they’d like to tell. Once set, the app automatically connects the points using ultra-smooth camera movements.
The newly improved SmartTrack lets a user select a key object or feature within the scene, then automatically holds it in center-frame throughout the video, combined with proprietary FlowState stabilization, it creates smooth tracking shots.
Hyperlapses
I remember the days when doing hyperlapses required high cinematography skills, plus a lot of patience and accuracy. Seems like those days are over since there are new algorithms that get the job done for you. As stated by Insta360, “Rather than painstakingly shooting every frame of a hyperlapse with a DSLR, or using a stabilizing accessory, ONE users can simply run and gun. FlowState stabilization will take care of creating a video that’s stable enough to be hyper-lapsed, and the app will take care of the rest.”
It looks like the Insta360 ONE got some major improvements and cool features in this update, and if you own the ONE you should definitely try it.
What are your thoughts about this update? Let us know in the comments section below.

Insta360 Pro Camera becomes the first 360 VR camera to be certified by Google as “street view ready”. With the additional GPS module users can contribute their 360 footage to Google maps street view.
Insta360 Pro with GPS module – ready for Google maps street view
Insta360 Pro is a very capable 360 VR camera. It was introduced more than a year ago and it offers truly amazing specs like 8K or 100fps in 4K resolution. To read more about the camera itself, check out one of our older articles by clicking here.
Insta360 has released an update that allows users to mount the Insta360 Pro on a vehicle and take advantage of a dedicated workflow for smooth and simple contributions to Google Maps Street View. In order for this to work users need to purchase a separate GPS module from Insta360 and connect it with the camera to automatically geo-tag the content being filmed. The camera itself then needs to be fixed on the vehicle’s roof, of course.
When updated, users can choose an 8K 5fps video mode in the Insta360 Pro to start capturing a series of closely-spaced 360 snapshots from the top of their car. For now, this only works on smooth paved roads as this setup is not intended for rough roads or trail driving. Submitting the footage directly to Google Maps Street view has been made easy by implementing an automatic publishing feature in the Insta360 Stitcher software.
The following short video briefly explains the process of capturing Google Maps Street View content:
Once uploaded, Google’s system will automatically recognize the 5fps video, convert it into a series of evenly spaced 360 photos, and then embed these photos into the Street View map at the appropriate locations, based on the associated GPS data. Published images can be explored via Google Maps’ Street View app or through the Google Maps mobile and desktop apps.
